VW Golf GTI: 2 special editions coming to Woerthersee Festival

After Audi’s announcement yesterday about 7 special editions of the Audi A1 heading to the Woerthersee Festival, today is VW’s turn. They will bring two special editions of the VW Golf GTI with them, enough to make fans happy.

Volkswagen will launch a hardcore version of the Golf GTI at its annual Worthersee Tour event in Austria next week.

Although there are no changes to its 2.0-litre engine under the bonnet, the VW Golf GTI Excessive edition boasts wider tracks, revised springs and dampers, upgraded brake discs and pads and a new lightweight exhaust system.

VW’s other model at Worthersee Tour will be the VW Golf GTI Adidas edition, which is pictured here.

The Adidas model is a tie-in with the famous German sports equipment firm and the changes to the VW Golf GTI for the model are purely cosmetic.
